[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 338361, member: 1514"] Kjs...sorry you got your feelings hurt. I dont think anyone really meant to do that but I can understand why you feel that way. About the medications. Yes you need to follow the docs advice and somehow get difficult child to take the medications. I know its going to be difficult because your difficult child isnt one who wants to take the medications. Somehow you are going to have to find a way to make this happen. If it means watching him take them, including checking his mouth after he swallows them...so be it. It may be that you have to cut out the stimulant if it really isnt working for him all that well and makes him tired. I would hate that feeling. You know...I always say for myself...and I always told Cory...that when taking a medication that I would give it six weeks and if I didnt like how I felt on it after that time or it wasnt working, then we could change. Maybe you could try that same approach. Six weeks is an appropriate time limit to see a change or to give side effects time to go away. Now obviously if you are allergic to something you stop immediately. [/QUOTE]
